Scrap Along 2026

If the past year has shown us nothing else, it's the imperative of community, purpose, focus, and resources. Scrap Along 2026 can contribute to all of those.

The event begins on Valentines Day and ends on the Ides of March (15 March). Start earlier or finish later, but make something with leftover yarn. You don’t have enough scraps for an entire project? Include what you do have!

Whatever your craft — knitting, crochet, weaving, tatting, macrame, needlepoint, felting, nalbinding, embroidery, latchhook, etc. — piece together leftover yarn into something gorgeous, one of a kind, memorable. Like you.

All of the 2SLGBTQIA+ letters, the colors, the genders, the love, the ages. All of the yarn.

Please share what you make and the making of it with the tag #ScrapAlong2026.

Be scrappy.

Finished the raglan and split for the sleeves on my Sea Glass Cardigan. Now it's time to power though the body 😤

Scrap Along 2026

Hello! Scrap Along 2026 begins today, February 14, and runs 30 days through the Ides of March (March 15). Just make something from leftover yarn and post it on social media with the tag #ScrapAlong2026

Making things from leftover yarn helps to:

Reduce waste

Save money

Lower stress and anxiety

Persevere

After a year of federal murder, assault, and cruelty, craftivism is more important than ever. If you use yarn to crochet, embroider, felt, knit, latch hook, macrame, nalbind, needlepoint, tat, weave, or any other yarn craft I left out, you can scrap along.

Most of all, have a great time.

Scrap Along 2026

Nope. I started the crown of the first version but thought "nope" and frogged back to the first stripe. Reknit in narrower, neater stripes, I'm much happier with the result. It's my latest ribbed cap for Scrap Along 2026, knit from four colorways of leftover fingering weight yarn.

It's an inside day today, but an opportunity to capture this combination of leftover yarn, helical knitting, and colorway pooling in a swirling ribbed cap for Scrap Along 2026.

I look forward to seeing other yarn crafter's work soon!

Beach break. I finished this ribbed cap of leftover yarn a day before the "official" start of Scrap Along 2026. This one is sentimental…

I used the very last yards of a ball of soft green Zitron Trekking XXL 285, a gift from my mother when she taught me her method of knitting socks. Sixteen years ago.

Persevere and Bear Witness

"It's almost sunset here on San Juan Island, somewhere beyond the clouds, and I walked down to the beach to work on yet another ribbed cap.

I've been watching the same news you have. It really isn't new. It's not.

Look, if you make things with yarn, you may already know that your craft promotes focus and cognitive function. It reduces stress and anxiety. So, make something beautiful or make something functional. Make something for the very first time or something you know you'll just take apart later, but use your skills to persevere and bear witness."
